If \(A=\begin{bmatrix} a & 0 & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & a & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & 0 & a \end{bmatrix}\) ,find the value of |adj A|. |
Answer» |adj A| = |A|2 [ ∵ |adj A| = |A|n-1, where n is the order of matirx.] \(=\begin{bmatrix} a & 0 & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & a & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & 0 & a \end{bmatrix}^2\) = (a3)2 = a6 [∵ Determinant of a triangular matrix is equal to the product of its diagonal elements]. |
